Burgau Beach Bar



Not sure what else I can say about this place. Incredibly consistent. I'm writing this whilst sitting on the veranda having consumed more great sardines accompanied by a large Sagres. The beach below is quiet and the sea crystal clear.

Wet & dry

I'm convinced you hardly need any clothes in this climate. You put less on, go in the sun, jump in the shower with them on, wash them whilst in the shower, "peg out", put them on the next day.
Perpetual motion!

We've been before and returned for lunch the other day whilst in Lagos.
It is the place where the locals go. Great food, great people.

Lagos



Lagos has a small city feel. It is a mixture of old and new. Portugal does this mixture really well with anything new being finished with exacting precision using quality materials.
The Marina is a particular favourite, a touch of St Tropez in the Algarve.

Loving 3G in Burgau


The 3G signal in Burgau is great and it is really easy to post to blogger via e-mail. The Orange M3100 is ideal for purpose with its qwerty slide out keyboard. (End of geek post!)

Feeling fit!



Last year we manged to swim almost every day. We built up from a start of 20 lengths increasing by two each day. This year we've increased the start point to 30. So far we've been getting them in.
Don't quite feel the benefit just yet and I do get bored just ploughing up and down. Someone must make wireless, waterproof headphones?

I still find travel an amazing experience. You step onto a plane and in a few hours arrive somewhere with a different culture, language, and climate.
